The world celebrates Natti Natasha, who is welcoming her new baby girl!
The Dominican singer and her fiancé, Raphy Pina, welcomed their first baby, Vida Isabelle. They announced her arrival via Instagram on May 22, 2021.
“I am so happy, I am more full of LIFE than ever. Today God will give us one more blessing. Today God will perform another miracle of LIFE, TODAY God will do the same to celebrate the arrival of a Queen,” Pina captioned in Spanish a photo of him embracing Natasha before the arrival of their baby girl. “I love you Natalia and this is our last photo with the Baby in your belly. 5.22.21🙏🏻🏥 #TeamPinatti! Let’s go to sleep because I think the girl comes around noon.”
According to Billboard, Natasha gave birth at 9 a.m. on Saturday, May 22, at South Miami Hospital. Vida came in weighing 6.8 pounds and was 20 inches long.
“The baby girl is in perfect health and the parents are very happy and grateful for the long-awaited of their firstborn and all the affection they have received during the process,” they said to Billboard.
In an interview with People Español, the “Las Nenas” singer opened up about her struggles with fertility as she announced the pregnancy news in February.
At the time, Natasha was five months pregnant, and she explained that when they were deciding to have a baby, she was told she needed to do vitro fertilization for pregnancy. This was because of cysts in her womb and a fallopian tube she had removed in the past.
Natasha said, “The hormones drive you crazy; you don’t know whether to laugh, cry. But I didn’t care. I was happy because I was doing it.”
Unfortunately, IVF was not working for Natasha, and her doctor told her she could not have children. She said, “It gave me depression, I didn’t want to see anyone, I didn’t want to talk to anyone. I felt like a total failure as a woman.”
However, she added how Pina was supportive through everything, and he reassured her that he wanted to be with her no matter what.
After back pain on a trip to Puerto Rico, Natasha went to the doctor and recalled, “The next morning, [Raphy] gets a call from the doctor directly. He stands to one side with his cell phone, opens his eyes and says, ‘You’re pregnant.”
“We are super happy. I am going to be a mother. I have never been in such a good in my life,” the singer exclaimed.
Natasha said, “To women who go through a situation like this [I want to tell them] that they should not limit themselves to anything because of anyone’s opinion, or someone else’s mental limit. In this life everything is possible.”
